Re: Oracle Support is Stumped-Can you help?

I have more information to add to this:

• The Swap space was only twice that of the RAM; I increased it 100M to be 3 times RAM, but it didn't solve the problem.
• When I run "runform40" on a fmx file I get "FRM-40918: Internal Error -- Unable to Initialize Toolkit"
• When the system is rebooted, the following error messages come up:

    LSNRCTL for SunOs 2.0.14.0.0

    LSNRCTL> SNL-00030: snlfglh: read error     SunOs Error: 5: I/O error

Anybody have ANY ideas ???

Thanks,
